    This was a pretty mid experience to be honest. It felt like a gondola factory; they shuttle people in and out in masses. We started 5 mins late and ended 5 mins early, so it only ended up being 20 mins on the actual gondola ride. The gondolier didn’t speak to us at all and instead shouted to another gondolier next to us for the entire ride. You’re probably better off going to one of the smaller gondola pop ups throughout Venice along the canals than doing this corporate experience.

    Overall good experience, the gondolas follow the same route so we did spend a while waiting for boats to pass, did the shared ride and another couple joined us, we went on first so did get the forward facing seats, would have been nice for a little bit of commentary and some more picturesque views of Venice but a pleasant ride.

    It is very much a simple gondola ride. The text tells you what to expect to see but if you wanted your guide to point anything out or interact this is not the ride for you. The experience was still gorgeous and I am so glad we did it but if you were looking for more, I would suggest shelling out a bit more money.

  • Pretty but overpriced for what you get

    This trip was about $100 American dollars. It was very cold, and we were asked to wait on a bench outside as the gondolas were arriving a bit late. I thought the gondolier might talk a bit about what we were seeing, but he did not say anything at all. We went up the canal for about 15 minutes and turned around following the same path back for 15 minutes. It was pretty at night, but I think it was overpriced.

    This was a cute little 30 minute gondola ride! Nothing fancy! But it was fun! You get to see most of the sights. Suitable for friends or couples

  • Not 30 minutes, but half as long

    The gondola ride lasted much less than 30 minutes, only about 15, did not start at the scheduled time and does not pass through any of the most beautiful canals.
